Business ethics could be described as conformance to laws and policies on governance, fraud or bribery, or the code of conduct for a professional body. But increasingly it is much more than that. It has extended to refer to the conduct of business in a way which is morally right. Would you feel comfortable if publicity about your supply chain showed the treatment of employees in developing countries, for example? And even more than that, an organisation is seen as ethical – or not – depending on how it develops products and services and how it treats the community or environment.&nbsp;At an individual level, we each have the responsibility to act in an ethical way. But what does that mean? And why be ethical? Most of us like to think that we are basically good people, yet a sense of what is moral or ethical varies from one person to another. Challenges arise when one code of ethics conflicts with another. How can you ensure that you are ethical in your systems practice?.&nbsp;ObjectivesIn this part you will:o&nbsp;&nbsp; Gain an appreciation of the main types of ethical systems, their differences, and the general implications for systems practiceo&nbsp;&nbsp; Practice using ethical calculus to identify potential ethical conflictsReflect on how ethical calculus informs system design, management and intervention
